WhatsApp is finally rolling out the feature that many users have been waiting for – transferring chats from Android to iOS and vice versa. The company announced this on Twitter and even published a guide on how to take advantage of this opportunity.
To transfer an account, including data such as profile photos, individual and group chats, media files, and settings, from Android to iOS, you need a smartphone with Android Lollipop or later, and an iPhone with iOS 15.5 or later installed.
